### Creating spans from matches {#matcher-spans}
Creating [`Span`](/api/span) objects from the returned matches is a very common
use case. spaCy makes this easy by giving you access to the `start` and `end`
token of each match, which you can use to construct a new span with an optional
label. As of spaCy v3.0, you can also set `as_spans=True` when calling the
matcher on a `Doc`, which will return a list of [`Span`](/api/span) objects
using the `match_id` as the span label.
```python
### {executable="true"}
import spacy
from spacy.matcher import Matcher
from spacy.tokens import Span
nlp = spacy.blank("en")
matcher = Matcher(nlp.vocab)
matcher.add("PERSON", [[{"lower": "barack"}, {"lower": "obama"}]])
doc = nlp("Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States")
# 1. Return (match_id, start, end) tuples
matches = matcher(doc)
for match_id, start, end in matches:
# Create the matched span and assign the match_id as a label
span = Span(doc, start, end, label=match_id)
print(span.text, span.label_)
# 2. Return Span objects directly
matches = matcher(doc, as_spans=True)
for span in matches:
print(span.text, span.label_)
```
